Story of bull

                                    Story of bull
Long ago,there lived a man called Vardhaman. One day, as he was taking rest , a thought struck him. The thought is that money is everything in life. Without money, it is difficult to live comfortably. Money has the power to make a young to look old and the old to look young. By this thought, he set his travel plans so that he can sell the goods in city.
One day, Vardhaman left his place on a bullock cart. 2 bulls are arranged to drag the vehicle. When the vehicle was passing through forest, one bull named Sanjeevaka collapsed because of fatigue. But Vardhaman was not ready to abandon his plans.
He left Sanjeevaka in the forest and asked his servants to look after it. Vardhaman continued his journey with another bull.  But in forest, servants thought it is waste of time to look after an ill bull. So they abandoned bull there itself and returned near their master. They said Sanjeevaka died in forest . Hence they came back after performing last rites.
But actually, Sanjeevaka has not died. In the forest after eating forest fruit, he became healthy once again. He was spending his time happily. In the forest,there lived a lion. One day he heard the roar of Sanjeevaka. Frightened lion withdrew himself from site.
By seeing his worried face, his ministers are also worried. They decided to entertain him. They came to know the reason also. Now,they made friendship with Sanjeevaka. They said him that the king wants to see him. Sanjeevaka prepared so that he can meet the king.
The ministers,who are cunning jackals, took bull near lion. There lion  was acting that he was ill. Jackals said nowadays, King is unable to hunt and he is not having any food for past 1 week. Ministers tried arguing that King must eat them and quench his hunger.
By seeing their false quarrel, lion said that he will not kill anyone. But listening to that his ministers started arguing that King can't stay hungry . After seeing all this, Sanjeevaka came forward and  said that King can eat him in order to quench his hunger.
Lion was waiting for this and he pounced on the bull and killed him. He and his ministers had a party that day. Lion successfully removed his enemy from his path.
